________________
Others too do not like to be subjected to the violent activity you do not like to be subjected to. The compassionate treatment you expect is also expected by all others. This is the gist of all what the Jain order preaches.
- Brihatkalp Bhashya The qualification of being called an Arya (noble) is not to kill or oppress beings. In fact, he who does not kill or oppress beings is called Arya.
– Dhammapada Do not do to others what you yourself detest.
- Manusmriti I do not want to turn my stomach to be a graveyard of other beings. He who has saved one life has probably spared life of all humanity.
